CCAC Executive Committee - Leon Walker, DL3 Realty

The Chicago Central Area Committee is excited to welcome DL3 Realty Managing Partner Leon Walker to its Executive Committee. Leon Walker has spearheaded cutting-edge community development projects that have generated thousands of new jobs, and brought grocery stores and health care services into the food and health care deserts on Chicago’s south side. Over the next 10 years, his vision is to help create 10,000 jobs and 10 million square feet of new commercial space in Chicago’s neighborhoods.

Chicago Loop Alliance's Annual Meeting 

Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA) and Chicago Loop Alliance Foundation's Annual Meeting gathers the Loop’s most influential business, civic, and cultural leaders to connect during this crucial time of economic recovery. Chicago Loop Alliance will offer a recap of 2021; share plans for 2022; and induct the incoming slate of Board of Directors.

CCAC's very own Leon Walker is providing the keynote address. Consider joining us and many others to hear his remarks on how the Chicago Emerging Minority Developer Initiative (CEMDI), a group Walker co-founded, is helping build the next generation of African American and Latinx real estate developers and why that is beneficial for the Loop. CEMDI was founded on the premise that a robust pool of minority developers active in Chicago is a critical component to building Black and Brown wealth, stemming population loss in the city of Chicago, and bringing innovative development projects to historically disinvested communities.

The CLA Annual Meeting is taking place on Thursday, March 24 at 7:30 AM. Tickets are available at CLA's website.
